4:16 Israel has rebelled 1 like a stubborn heifer!
Soon 2 the Lord will put them out to pasture
like a lamb in a broad field! 3
4:17 Ephraim has attached himself to idols;
Do not go near him!
4:18 They consume their alcohol,
then engage in cult prostitution;
they dearly love their shameful behavior.
4:19 A whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings;
they will be brought to shame because of their idolatrous worship. 4
